Bootstrap¶

Runbooks for installing and bootstrapping DevOps platform tools and cluster components on any Linux server — EC2, bare-metal, VPS, or microVM.

What This Section Covers¶

I document here the installation and initial configuration of any tool I use across real projects and lab environments. Each runbook captures the exact commands — whether from official upstream documentation, a dedicated installer script, or a combination of both.

For tools I install repeatedly across disposable environments, I have scripted the process. Two of the most frequently used:

# Install a Kubernetes cluster
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibtisam-iq/silver-stack/main/scripts/kubernetes/entrypoints/init-controlplane.sh | sudo bash

# Install Docker
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibtisam-iq/silver-stack/main/scripts/installers/install-docker.sh | sudo bash
